This poem touched my heart. I am in my middle teens and I can see my childhood slipping away before my eyes. I wish it wouldnt and this poem expressed those wishes. So thank you to the author for putting my feelings into words.
Amanda
Dear Amanda, i really enjoyed your poem because it really reminded me of my best friend who i've known my whole life. We don't talk anymore im a freshman in high school and she's a junior. it really reminded me that our memories will live on forever no matter what happens in life. And i can't help but thinking about the memories. You got a talent girl keep it up! I loved the poem!

Dear Amanda, when i read this poem i did indeed remember the old times of my childhood. i am only 15 but i have known my best friend for 9 years. only two short years after we met she had to move away. yet still through all the hard times she was there for me and i for her. now we sit on the phone for hours on end talking about the old times just to forget the new times for they are so much rougher. thank you for your talent. you may not realize it but you have touched many others without even knowing them. your poems go striaght to the heart and leave foot prints there.

this was fabulous. it expressed my thoughts about my passed childhood friends. but instead of getting angry this time the poem reminded me to just to be grateful for all the goodtimes and memories

Chanel
Wow! I really loved your poem. it brought a tear to my eye. i used to have a friend just like you and then i moved away and your poem is exactly what happened. i think that it is so great that you wrote about this. People just dont realise just what sort of commitment FRIENDS FOREVER means.
Elizabeth
Im just about to leave school, and this poem has really made me realise that even though we're leaving, we'll still have our past, and no one can ever take that away from us. thankyou!
Rachel
This poem really struck me close to the heart. I just turned 20 and I have been thinking a lot about the past and how I always wanted to grow up. Now I really miss my childhood and the things that seemed so hard to me then. The things that used to seem hard are pale compared to the problems you face in adulthood. Thanks for writing this poem. It means a lot to me personally

it is a indeed good poem . how true it is that when ever we think of the good time in our life . it is our childhood. free. no tension . no complexities of relations. like the waves of the oceans. untamed and lively

Hey Amanda, That was a tight poem. I read it and I thought about my best friend who I have known since i was 3. After 8 years we were finally reunited and this poem described his and my friendship to a "T".
Melan
It was so sweeeett
Amanda
omg this is a great poem! I read this and I cried! I am 16 years old and this reminded me of a childhood friend who moved away last year. I sent this to her and told her how much I missed her. I really love this poem!
Nicole
This is REALLY good..
Amanda
I have read all of your comments and I just want to note for the record that I am very very touched that my poetry has in some way helped others connect with themselves. We all sit and think of ways we can reach the world and change lives forever. I look at as if I can impact one persons life I have accomplished a huge goal, but today I see I have impacted many more and for that I am grateful. Good luck to all and God bless. :)

Whoa! That was good! I was looking for a poem to recite to my class. But this is the best I read so far! I have to pick one by tommorrow. So I will pick yours :) (don't worry I won't take credit of your work) Anyway I make fanfics better than poems =) If your interested then you can just go to fanfiction.net and look for the author "RabbitRose" (me).

anyone have a tissue?? Oh my gosh this poem made me cry just thinking of how innocent we are when we're children and of all the friends who come and go in our lives but leave a little bit of themselves in our hearts. To the author of this poem,I give you 2 big thumbs up for this very beautiful poem.
